Description

Balance board

The balance of the body is a functional state that declines with aging. As the body ages, the core muscles become weaker and less elastic, leading to a loss of balance.

The muscle movement required for balance has not been adequately achieved by any known system.

The problems with the activities of the older generation have been overlooked by the general public due to the lack of programs and fears to help this generation. Most exercise devices and activities, including household appliances, attempt to increase muscle strength. However, this mechanism does not encompass what the inventors regard as the most important decline of the body, i.e. balance.

The inventors consider that balance is a core action that enhances functions for everyday life by supplementing muscle training with physical actions.

The present invention was made to help retrain the body to find functions with balance, upper and lower body strength, agility, and mobility, while improving the quality of life in mobility and ability to participate in daily activities.

Implementations describe a special balance board that enables movement. The solutions of embodiments achieve the goal of restoring mobility and health for physical activity by addressing loss of confidence and body balance to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.

Different drawings show different implementations.
1 shows a plan view of a balance board.
2 shows the top surface of the balance board and its holes.
3 shows a rear view of the board showing a situation in which the board may swing left and right.
4 shows the front side.
5 shows a person on the balance board.

The balance board is designed as a platform with a flat center pivot point that swings left and right to a minimum when ascending. The platform has buried holes for attaching resistance bands. The front of the platform has a half balance ball for specific balance training and strength for the lower body. The platform is equipped with two removable handles for safety and balance aid purposes. The step can also be stabilized with leg attachments. The design encompasses safety, balance, strength, collaboration, and upper and lower body movements all in one small self-supporting instrument.

The advantage of the balance board lies in its ability to change the user from decline to improvement. These trainings will help prevent and minimize the falls that many people can experience with aging. By training on a board that supports all aspects of your physical needs, your daily life will become more and more comfortable. The platform will assist in walking, turning, using stairs, carrying everyday items, and moving for good everyday functions. This will also help to alleviate the increase in obesity through inactivity, by increasing confidence to be more active outdoors. The user's overall health will be improved and the biological clock of physical decline will be restored.

One implementation is shown in FIG. 1. 1 shows a front perspective view of a balance board assembly 100. The balance board assembly includes a top surface 105 comprising first and second poles 110, 112, and the first and second poles 110, 112 are located in holes in the top surface. 2 shows a situation in which the top surface 110 of the balance board is formed with various holes including outer holes 200 and 202 and inner holes 205 and 206. Between the inner holes 205 and 206, a substantially circular groove 210 is positioned, for the user to hold the elastomeric ball mechanism 120 that rises to perform at least one balance movement.

FIG. 1 also shows poles 110 and 112 positioned within outer apertures 200 and 202, respectively. The poles can be moved into inner holes 205 and 206 for different movements.

The base has a number of lower points of curvature described herein and shown throughout the figures, which allow the base to swing from side to side and back and forth while maintaining overall stability without falling. 3 shows the base portion 100, the lower surface 300 of the base portion is not flat because it has a substantially seesaw shape, the first side 305 is thinner at the first end 306 and the first end Although the thickness increases linearly from 306 to the central portion 310, the central portion 310 represents a situation in which the distance between the upper platform 320 of the base portion and the lower surface 300 of the base portion is the thickest portion. In this thickest portion 310, the base is again linearly thinned until it reaches the second end 315, which is a second end having a minimum thickness opposite the first end. Through this, the lower surface of the base is not stable and flat on the floor, but is stable only in two left and right positions including the seating on the first end, where the base is flat formed between the first end 306 and the middle part 310 It is mounted on the surface 307 or on the second flat surface 314 formed between the middle portion and the second end 315.

In an alternative embodiment, face 307 is not actually flat, but rather curved.

4 shows a front view of the base showing a situation in which the lower surface of the base has two different regions. The rear zone 400 includes the sizing parameters shown in FIG. 3, where the rear zone 400 has a thickness that thickens linearly towards the center and thinner linearly towards the edge, forming an unstable base. However, the front part 410 extends from the rear part 400 and includes a round lower part 412 just below the position of the elastomer ball that the user rises to perform an exercise.

Figure 5 shows a side view of the base showing unstable parts back and forth. The base is the thinnest in its central portions 500 and 501. From portion 500 to first end 520, the base gradually decreases in thickness. Zone 500 is actually underneath the front portion 410. 5 shows an embodiment in which the structure is only at a specific point, such as 501, and the other zone, such as 520, is hollow. Likewise, the central portions 500 and 501 contain two structural points, with a hollow section between them. The area between 501 and the lower point of the other end 510 is likewise a curved area, allowing back and forth shaking, but maintaining stability at either alternating end.

6 shows the motion of the user being on the ball of the instrument, holding the handles 110 and 112 and getting on the ball 600. While on the elastomer ball, the user presses the exercise board from one side to the other to perform core muscle exercises.

The structure of the present invention is based on a flat central stable point of the base portion 100. The curvature of the base allows the platform to swing from side to side without the risk of falling. The front of the design achieves stability ball insertion with an integral setting. The poles inserted into the platform are characterized in that they are removable stability aids. They can also be used for the physical training section of the program.

The platform, as a rocker, can be used for upper body strength training due to the need for dynamic muscle contractions to prevent shaking. The platform is also perfect for abdominal workouts as weight shift can change the intensity of your core workout from downhill to uphill training. Buried holes allow for additional resistance training with multiple attachments. Additional legs inserted at the base can cause the rocker to deform into a rigid base that does not shake for an additional training program.

The balance board solves all aspects of training through this one device. The instrument provides stability poles to assist the user, while allowing for low impact core movement with shake, rigidity, height adjustment and multi-entry point of use for the user. Removing the poles also forms and facilitates storage of a larger basal platform for further activity and bodily function exercise.

The foregoing description of the disclosed exemplary embodiments has been provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these exemplary embodiments will be readily understood by those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is intended to be accorded the greatest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
